netmask should not be in /etc/sysconfig/network

you can however put GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 there

Just out of curiousity, are you sure that the gateway address isn't
registered on startup?

route -n # doesn't show the default gateway address at startup?
if so, does running the commands...

ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0

make the gateway address appear in 'route -n' after running those
commands?
